I am a little bit skeptical. Some of them look valid and still wrong, but the one with filippa for example, where her waist is slimmer than her head, I just can't believe it went through at Tommy. I am sure someone made this and leaked it out as it was an official retouch. Maybe someone can point me to an online source that has the official ad, then I believe it.

I wonder if those two are deliberately distorted like that for billboards??

Because people will be looking upwards at them? If you look at a normal shaped girl plastered on the side of a building from the ground, they can look dumpy and pear-shaped.

Think that could be it? (lols @ the pencil thighs btw - that's just an art director with a slightly warped perspective on reality)

I think the creative team of R.L. simply made it that way. They want to get noticed and it worked, they got press. When I saw the ad, it looks like one of those paintings with big heads.

for the victoria secret, i can think of several things.

1. One over controlling art/creative director or boss, that keeps telling the retoucher what to do, the retoucher just does not want to argue so he just did it to get over with.

2. Rushed for publication, send it now or it will not be printed, they never had time to review.

3. In los angeles, or even other places, I have to admit that there are people who makes it or they get the job because of who they know and how they look. so maybe, the people who got hired are the wrong people for the job.

That bullshit just can't be true! For me, it's a stupid sabotage, black humour, joke... or whatever. VS's proved for the ages that at least they have a eye for what is esthetic...
I doubt that the other brands could afford such a failure either!
Don't believe in everything what the yellow press tells...

I'm guessing this is a marketting ploy... Here we are talking about it.
There is no way in hell a name like Victorias Secret would release images like this without knowing how horrible the post work is.

I disagree...the site I linked before shows how the biggest world wide companies make these kinds of mistakes all the time.
Microsoft is another I rem with a screw-up a while back.
